"Chu Liang!" Song Qingyi cried out in despair.
She took a couple of steps to get to Chu Liang's side. His eyes were dark, almost lifeless. Tears were about to well up in her eyes when she suddenly noticed something off.
Huh?
She could move again?
Just as she was pondering about this strange development, she saw Chu Liang's eyes regain their vibrant lustre before it grew dim - full of life once again.
"Ah..." Chu Liang sighed deeply and collapsed onto the ground.
The moment was the most critical he'd faced in his entire life.
Since the moment they were brought into the hut by the black-robed man and shown the soul stealing array, a dangerous idea had crept into his mind.
With a Golden Core Realm demonic cultivator towering over him, their defeat was imminent. If the black-robed man had directly killed Song Qingyi and himself, they would have been powerless. However, the man chose to directly extract their souls to preserve the power of their divine consciousness.
